What's ArkTippr?

Arktippr is an Ark tipbot for Reddit that allows you to reward good content. See something you like, want to support the author? Then reward them by leaving a tip. How generous is up to you.

Arktippr uses the Ark blockchain and all your requests are processed on-chain!

Other Reddit tip bots tend to structure their service such that all user funds exist on the blockchain in one wallet location, and they run an internal database that keeps track of all user balances. On-chain events only occur during deposits and withdrawals. This is usually due to necessity- to gain an advantage in speed, reduce fees, or both.

This structure also creates some awkwardness and big problems, though. Hackers, bugs, or glitches could affect user balances, and even wipe all data so no one knows anymore who has what balance, and there would only remain a large blob of coins in a single wallet. Moreover, with this structure, you are forced to trust the system admin to stay honest and not manually manipulate user balances. Technically speaking, the system admin could log into the server and change around any balances they want at any time, or, for example, reroute unclaimed tips for themselves after a specified time period.

ArkTippr is different. ArkTippr processes all transactions 'on-chain'. This means that we do not have a central wallet with a way to keep track who owns what, but instead create a personal Ark wallet for each and every user.
When you tip a user, your funds go directly from your wallet to their wallet. The Ark blockchain facilitates this through very fast 8-second blocktimes and very low fees, with expectation of fees to drop even lower in the near future.
